      Haha this fight couldn't have been more obviously fixed if they tried..about as pre booked as Logan Vs LA knight. Tyson obviously was Jobbing for him, there's no advantage to Paul losing, Tyson gets a payday and Paul gets hype. I totally agree Tyson is 3 times his age, and don't doubt that Paul has skills, but I reeeeally doubt he'd let himself take a real risk against Tyson since it hurts his image. Logan has proven himself as great in WWE, but idk, there's way too much money on the line to leave it to chance, it's basically just WWE

      Napoleon Blownapart has a 90 minute video on "Circus Fights" (aka Freakshow fights) or fights where a boxer goes against a wrestler, 3-4 guys vs 1 guy, etc.
      Fights that are meant to sell tickets than be a completion.
      He ends with the Paul brothers, he gives them just enough props for calling out Dana White on fighter pay and even if the fights are rigged to lose, Paul does give them the money they need for, let's say, hip surgery.
      But then he rightfully calls Paul out on his many levels of exploitation, from the fighters, to his fans, to his young audience.
      But that's like 20 minutes. He goes into Jack Dempsey, Muhammad Ali v Antonio Inoki, Pride FC. It's really good and I recommend it.

      ​​@@ZelphTheWebmanceri have suspicion that some of the boxers in these lists are "journeymen". They often start as legit boxers trying to get a career. But after 2 or more losses they don't get promoted anymore.. so... they take on any fight they can get and... they might or might not lose some of them on purpose... but they are paired to lose. U can even find some of these guys cheer as if they won even when they lost. Cuz they get money from it. If they lose against a boxer that is promoted to have winstreak they are hired again. If they accidenally win against such boxer it might be last time anyone hires them. U can find footage about them being good at dodging and having decent form& technique... but they just aren't maybe giving their all. Its nasty how boxing federations and promoters work... i don't really see boxing as legit sport for this reason. The actual athletes can be legit yes but this system punishes way too harshly if you lose one too many times and only way to recover is either go on journean career or try the same route in different federation (or learn other martial arts and maybe ufc career). It is really hard to trust this system cuz some legit sportspersons are dropped way too soon.

    I mean, the simple fact of the matter is Mike is a 60 year old man. You could tell watching it, Mike is the better boxer from a technical standpoint, and by far. Of course he is. He's Mike Tyson. He's been boxing and fighting his whole life. He grew up fighting. Jake grew up a sheltered white child actor who's only been doing this for fun for a few years and hasn't fought a serious pro yet. Mike's defense was on point, Jake got almost nothing through that really seriously hurt Mike. He hit him hard a few times, but nothing that really stunned him, let alone knocked him down. Unfortunately Mike had no legs. They say you never lose power and they're generally right, but he couldn't close distance to use it and his conditioning gave out within 2 rounds because, again, he is 60 years old. He gave it a good attempt, but you can't beat time.

      I don't even think it's an age thing. I know people who are older than Mike who are good even by professional standards, my taekwondo master back when I was learning had a discipline and talent that far exceeded what was expected of a teacher, she was 58 years old at the time and shorter than 5ft4inch yet she would do double the push ups when counting out for the class and even though it was strictly light to no contact, I always got a sense that she was holding back tremendous power, to have her fist stop in front of your face was like being Genos in that scene in one punch man. She wasn't just teaching others she was trying to push her limits as well. I think it's more about a mental state and consistent training. Not only was Mike not training he was out of practice and in a bad mental state, at least that's how he comes across to me.

    • @nooneinparticular5273
      @nooneinparticular5273 5 днів тому +14

      @GAHAHAHH It was definitely an age thing. Mike had been training very hard for this. He'd even gone in for special procedures and treatments to get himself in as good shape and as healthy as possible. And it definitely was not a matter of being out practice. Again, his defense was sharp and very effective. He simply didn't have the endurance or mobility needed to be a boxer because at 60, you can't control it. Some people are luckier than others, your instructor for example, benefitted from a couple things I suspect. For one, she was small. 5'4. Her body has much less wear and tear because she wasn't carrying much weight. Mike is and was a heavyweight boxer. He's not the tallest dude, but he is a powerfully built guy. She also benefitted from not doing pro boxing. Being in good shape is a different thing from being in shape for boxing or another pro sport. Boxing is a high intensity sport of bursts of exertion. Constantly moving. It's not just when you punch or block that you are burning energy. You're talking sparring, which I guarantee you Mike was doing. As for how hard you think she was punching, you're probably right. But I'm sure Mike was punching at Jake even harder. Because power doesn't really go away with age. Durability, agility, reaction time, those are the things that can dull. Impressive as she sounds, I guarantee you she was not the athlete at 58 that she was at 28. Same as this Mike Tyson at 60 years old, he was not the Mike Tyson of the 90s. You can fight age, you can hold it off, some do better than others, but no one wins that fight. Mike's legs were shot, his conditioming was gone and I am certain it was not due to lack of training. He was pretty public with how hard he trained for this thing.

But Jake Paul’s life has been one that hasn’t been carved out of stone. His life and his legacy are snow. Because of his wealth and his team, he is able to shape that snow into an occasionally convincing castle. But his life has protected him from anything that actually required him to grow as a man. He has successfully created limelight-maybe that’s his legacy-but he hasn’t seen the sunlight. If he had, he would’ve melted by now.

    The end of this video made me want to find a dojo again. I did judo for a few years in college. I never had a desire to compete or anything, but what you said about fighting helping you push your limits is so spot on. I did things I never thought I could do, found a confidence in my body I never thought possible. I wrestled (literally) with my claustrophobia and came out on the other side so much calmer. And there’s a camaraderie that comes with a good dojo that’s almost impossible to replicate anywhere else.

      Not to say I don't think having his brain rattled around his skull did him any good beyond the financial.

    Great video. I'd like to point out that this applies to pretty much every competitive sport.
    A common and obviously-similar example is in what I call "fighting game purgatory," in which you're better than all your friends, so nobody in your clique wants to play you. But you're also worse than all the big tournament players in your area, so you can't fit in there either.
    Paul is basically capitalizing on the fact that he can consistently beat his friends on the couch in a game they all play, and can beat pro players in a fighting game they don't play much.
    You could also apply this to good vs pro musicians, native vs non-native speakers of a given language, etc. You hit the nail on the head in your analysis of how the metric itself of his skill is being kept intentionally easy to misunderstand. I'm glad you made it easy for people like me who know nothing about fighting to see so clearly.

I'm about 2 months in now and absolutely love it, and can't thank you enough for describing why it's so enjoyable as my otherwise inactive, unhealthy ass wouldn't have considered it. And I remember how deflated the gym was when Mike Tyson lost this match, but the only person that had a feeling Jake would win was our 50-something trainer that understands the ravages of time. It's kinda impressive how well Tyson did despite everything.

    Comment before finishing the vídeo so I don't forget:
    As a person who has, even by short time, trained in boxing (just train, never fought) and someone who has spent most of their adult life studying human physical health, I can tell that no, these matches are no fakes as about the punches thrown, but, it is blatantly obvious that they are incredibly one-sided. To put into perspective, not only as John said, he (Jake Paul) is fighting people in a way that they lose most of their key tools, he also is taking a massive advantage just by age alone (not even counting the material conditions that he has over some of his opponents), yes, he could get knocked down, it is possible but, not likely, he made sure of that. So, he may never lose unless he fights an actual boxing professional who is currently active.

    • @Nassifeh

      There's something with both this and how many people now are quick to say things like that science is fake, or that elections are fake, or whatever--people don't know how to actually evaluate fakes in every field, which is itself fine! But they THINK they do, so they don't ask experts or even people with just slightly more knowledge. And it's not just a conservative thing or whatever--I've had to correct people before claiming that some image was "obviously" AI when it was actually obviously not. These are people in my camp and they're still wrong in a way that frustrates me. (And sometimes discourages real creators!)
      Culturally we need more of a thing where people go, "Hey, people who know, does this look fishy to you?" and then invite that discussion, instead of getting invested in the conspiracy before the debunking gets its boots on.
